Thanks, I'll take a look.

The PMU test was merged, and that may be the very slow running one.
The metric tests run with /bin/true, but if they get "not counted" in
the output they try again with perf bench. It generally runs in
O(seconds) for me, but maybe it is slower on a loaded machine. There
may be some middle sized thing between "perf bench" and true that
gives us enough counts for the tests.

Thanks,
